Richard Dawkins is coming to Michigan State University Tuesday, March 2nd. His talk has completely sold out the Wharton Center theater, and they even took the step of selling seats in the balcony, something that usually doesn't happen for lectures.

I'm in communication with the speaking engagement organizers, and I've requested having a brief opportunity to talk with Prof. Dawkins, results to be posted to PT. I don't know whether I'll actually get a spot in his busy schedule, but in case I do get a chance to ask a few questions, I thought that I would open the floor here for suggesting questions to pose to Prof. Dawkins. No promises... I don't even know if I will get closer than across the theater at this point. But there isn't much time left before the lecture, so go ahead and post your softballs and posers now.

This is probably off-topic, and isn't really a question. I just had to vent about how irritating it is when theists complain that Dawkins takes a superficial approach to critiquing religion that doesn't take into account really complex religious traditions like Buddhism or neo-paganism, that atheists who dare to criticize religion are "fundamentalist" and "militant", and when they insinuate that Dawkins is the atheist pope whom all atheists are required to worship.

Didnt know where to put this:Basically, Dawkins is the nicest guy ever. He didnt charge OU a penny for speaking here, his reasons are his own. But he didnt want to toot his own horn (IM SO NICE! LOOK AT THIS CHARITY IM DOING! LOOOOOOK! LOOK AT ME!!!), so we kept it a secret.

But then we found out that several OK legislators, OKC area religious radicals ('pastors'), and none other than Ray Martin, this little piggie lookin kid that brought OUs IDEA club back to life, were filing LAWSUITS to find out who donated the money to bring Dawkins to campus, where Dawkins put the money, etc. Wonder who gave em that idea? *flips off Caseyfag again*

Dawkins is such a gentleman. And Im stuck here with fucking hogs in sport coats.
